Hi there,
You need to make sure your web server (like NGINX or Apache) is running and listening on the correct port (usually 80 or 443):
Also, check that your firewall (UFW or DigitalOcean Cloud Firewall) allows inbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic:
Also double-check that your app is actually serving content on the public IP, not just localhost.
